[Kento Ariga, a physical therapist who graduated from a music college] Profile

Chiropractor who graduated from music university. Started playing drums from 2nd grade of elementary school to 2nd grade of piano. In parallel with music, he belongs to the elementary, middle and high school and baseball clubs, and lives a dual life of music and baseball. After that, he went on to Senzoku Gakuen College of Music, where he became interested in the mechanism of the body from the experience that "If the body changes, the sound changes", and after graduating from the music college, he obtained a national medical qualification. After working in an orthopedic rehabilitation room, an osteopathic clinic, and a chiropractic clinic, he currently works not only for musicians but also for various people in Tokyo, and is working to convey the structure and importance of the body to musicians through the Internet. there is

[Purpose of holding]

In recent years, sports records have been broken and the range of target age groups has expanded.

I planned this event with the idea that a scientific approach based on structure and numerical values, rather than simply based on spiritual theory and experience, could also be attempted with music.

Mr. Ariga, a manipulative therapist who graduated from music college and has been involved in music himself, will be invited as a lecturer, and in the first part, he will talk about daily care and prevention through treatment for those who have already suffered from koto performances. Let's eat.

In Part 2, Mr. Miyama from Sawai Sokyokuin was invited as a performer to talk about what kind of viewpoints and ways to control sound without difficulty from the structure of the body (muscles, joints, muscles, nerve transmission). We will give you a demonstration of what you need to do.

I believe that what we can see from the structure of the body can be applied to the performance of the koto in different postures such as seiza, sitting (using a stand), and standing (standing).

Furthermore, I expect that the idea of making the structure of the instrument (tuning) and equipment (height and angle adjustment of the stand) according to the body will be developed in the future.
